Hail the conquering heroine! Google hardware maintainer Trisha Weir outshined (outshone?) British ad sales bombshell Kate Burns, 615 votes to 412, to claim the title of Gorgeous Google Gal.
Ladies and gentlemen, the final Google Gals face-off. The first international Googler vs. the hardware maintenance maven with hipster flair. Vote for the most gorgeous — and assume that "gorgeous" here means every most excellent quality a Googler can possess.
A long weekend of polling gave us two more Google Gals champions. One of these winners will claim the Google Gals crown in the upcoming Final Face-off.*
We have a feeling this will be a fierce fight — both Kimbalina and Trisha seem to have fan clubs. Well, here, I'll let you have at it:
A surprise challenger steps in from the UK: How could we exclude Kate Burns, Google's first international employee? Burns ran Google's Manchester office from Day 1. On a personal note, her biggest inspiration is the Horse Whisperer. Will her whispers drown out all the American contestants in the Gorgeous Google Gals?
The first round is finished, with two more victories:
Another round of Google Gals — and these two are serious geeks. One keeps the servers from flaming out, the other keeps interfaces from lookin' ugly.
The first of these Google ladies is perfect for international sales — she just loves to travel the world. The second is one of those wonderful Google bloggers — and her host of choice, of course, is Blogger.
Two Google ladies claim sweet victory.
The first works in user studies; the second was last seen working on a secret project. Both deserve to be the ultimate Google Gal, but alas, there can be only one.
Time for the second Valleywag Hotties tournament to really get underway — it's the first Google Gals face-off. Voting ends tonight for this pair of lovely Google sales members. Remember, engineers may be brilliant, but salespeople won't stay up building Lego towers at 3 AM.
The Google Gals competitors have been chosen. No second-guessing, no arguing — unless you want to bribe me with a bundle of Google stock. (Or a portfolio shorting that stock — I'm all confused.)
